iHOP

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince,

and dinner like a pauper.

But in iHop?

Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner like a god.

Since like forever, Lola tells me that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

 I beg to differ. Well, lets just say I'm not a breakfast person. When I was still in school, waking up early with a beeping school bus driver or a demanding family driver is a struggle for me so breakfast is not in my list.

It did change eventually when I started working with a graveyard shift. However technically speaking Mcdonald's Breakfast Meals are like my dinner tho. So anyway.

#iHop

Hashtag here, hashtag there. In Twitter in IG.

(Even people in Facebook puts hashtag in their posts even tho its not necessary, 
pathetic haha.)

What the hells iHop?

iHOP is a famous breakfast hub in the United States that has been in the business for more than 50 years.They offer a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items that are loved by people of all ages. Offering an affordable, everyday dining experience with warm and friendly service. 

Lucky Filipinos and Fort People, they just opened their pioneer branch at W Building in Bonifacio High Street Taugig City. From the outside it looks like an ordinary restaurant, YET with an EXTRAORDINARY LINE. Like seriously. Well, I guess just like the first Krispy Kreme or JCO Branch. Oh Pinoys, basta pagkain? Lahat tatahakin.

Foodies in iHop varies from Pancakes, Waffles, Crepes, Pancakes, Bacon with Egss and French Toast, Pancakes, Pancakes, Chicken, Panckes and Pancakes.

I've been to iHop for like 4 times and here are the foodies I have tasted :

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pancake

 Four rich, chocolate batter pancakes filled with chocolate chips and topped with powdered sugar and whipped topping.

Split Decision Breakfast

A hearty combo of two eggs, bacon strips, sausage links, French toast and buttermilk pancakes.

International Crepe Passport

Simple and Fit Seasonal Mixed Fruit Crepes

Two crepes topped with seasonal mixed fruit, low-fat strawberry yogurt and granola.

served with two eggs, two bacon strips and two pork sausage links.

Need I say more? So if people tell you

"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper."

In iHop?

Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner like a god.

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

Sweettoothie tooth? Here's for you my labidubs!

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

Didn't have my camera ready. Thanks to iPhone and Pic Stitch tho ;)

During my yonder years, cupcakes for me are Mini Keyk, Lemon Square Cheesecake, and so on. Cupcakes are bought during grocery day for my baon. However people gave a new twist to cupcakes. A good awesome incredible twist.

Making it one of the favorite sweet eats today.

My first cupcake was bought by my bestfriend as a surprise. Around 2010.

It was Sonja's Cupcake. Red Velvet.

At first I was like what the? Php 70.00 for a cupcake?

 I can get 10pcs or 1 pack of Lemon Square Cheesecake with that!

BUT, at my first bite? Mind blown and sweet tooth got suckaroo.

From then on whenever my bestfriend pass by cupcake store, booth or whatsoever, she makes it a point to try them. Damay na ako. No wonder I'm this big.

NOW. There is this new cupcake eats in the NEW Glorietta.

"New" because the new wing is already opened and like it was closed for years right? Because of the bombing whatever. Anyhow.

Sorry not clear :|

The ambiance is a pinch of vintage modern cozy feel and a splash of girly sheez.

I can described it in one song. Rather ringtone during Nokia Glory Days.


"You're my honeybunch, sugar plum 
Pumpy-umpy-umpkin 
You're my sweetie pie 
You're my cuppycake, gumdrop 
Snoogums, boogums, you're 
The apple of my eye"

Their cupcakes range for Php 70.00 and up. 

Presentation? Good job. Taste? Thumbs up. 

Indeed its a Nokia Ringtone and Instagram moment.

Visit them at Glorietta 4, Makati.

SEE YOU THERE!

Recovery Food

After a party night out, sober place to be is McDonalds.

But not anymore.

Recovery Food

Recovery Food is the newest place to be after a long fun hard rock party you and your friends had. It has been always McDonalds because its 24 Hours.

 But guess what Recovery Food it 24 Hours. And the meaning behind why is it called Recovery Food? Is for you to recovery up from your drunkenness and sober up.

However, I didn't go there drunk. I was with friends after their Simbang Gabi. 

Recovery Food is under Mamou which is one of the top steak restaurants in the Philippines  As you can see, the cook's caps are Mamou. Cool ey?

Dishes in Recovery Food are awessssome. 

They serve Filipino morning food. Like tapa, rice bowls and others. You might think that it just might taste like the usual Tapa King and stuff, but no its not. Recovery Food's meat is soo tender. Their tapas are home made that is why its so fresh and good.

Tapa de Morning

If you still want to drink up, they serve beers too. Help yourself :D

Recovery Food is not just your ordinary dinning place. 

Either your drunk or just sad. 

It helps you recover. Somehow.

Pico De Loro

Unfold paradise in 
Pico De loro

Hidden at the outermost part of Nasugbu Batangas, Pico De Loro is a Beach and County Club that offers a distinctive exclusivity and privacy of a leisure club.

Familiar with PuntaFuego and Munting Buhangin?

You'll get to pass by those known resorts on your way to Pico De Loro. Its the same old route you take. SLEX - Tagayatay - Nasugbu or Cavite - Tagayatay - Nasugbu. However Pico de Loro is an additional 30 minutes from Punta Fuego and Munting Buhangin. Rough estimate of 2.5-3 hours travel time from Manila, but every minute is worth it as you arrive in paradise.

Pico de Loro is an EXCLUSIVE Beach and Country Club that has residential units as well. As I do my research, membership in Pico de Loro range about  Php 500,000.00 and Condo Units will range around Php 4.5M - 6.5M. Pico De Loro is actually just the beginning of Hamilo Coast's development under SM Land. Yes, Henry Sy. You did it again.

We are not a member and don't know one as well in Pico De Loro.

Wonder how we got IN?

Some people who bought condo units in Pico de Loro use it as their rest house, family house, vacation house and since MOST of them of course don't stay that often in Pico De Loro because they do have jobs and own errands here in the Metro, they use it as their "extra-kick" business. How? By "FOR RENT".

Yes, that is correct. For RENT. Fully furnished condo units for rent for those people who, well, can't afford the membership.

My friend was the one who was able to look for this condo unit for rent at Sulit.com

Php 5,500.00 per night

• Check in 2PM / out 2PM
• Good up to 4-6 Persons
• 1 Queen size bed
• 1 Sofa Bed
• Plasma LED TV with Cable and DVD
• Kitchen with utensils, plates, plates mats, glasses, rice cooker, refrigerator, cooking pans and etc.
• Balcony with dinning table

In short, FULLY FURNISHED with a very classy interior and CLEAN.

At first, when my friend told me that we are going to rent a condo owned by a member in Pico de Loro, I was hesitant. What if its not clean? What if its old? What if it smells like old wet towels kept inside an old closet? But every "what if" that I had in my mind changed. Its is way better than a hotel room. My friend told me that both the care taker and the owner was nice and if you have any questions at all, you can just call or text them up. 

Kitchen is complete with utensils, plates, plates mats, glasses, rice cooker, refrigerator, cooking pans and etc.That's why we just brought our own food and cooked it their. Raw meats and some rice husked good for dinner by Tuesday, breakfast and lunch by Wednesday.

Besides the rent which again cost Php 5,500.00, you would need to pay Php 500.00 each person for the like "entrance fee" of guests for your access within the vicinity, beach and pool. Hey, its better than paying an estimated amount of Php500,00.00 for Pico de Loro's 

FUN DAY PASS!!

Luckily during our stay they have an existing promo for both guest and members.

 For only 1,500.00 each person, you get to enjoy a LOT of water, indoor and outdoor activities to be used within the next 24 hours.Membership right?

Arrived Tuesday. Late 3pm. Settled our room, things and entrance stuff around 5pm. So we decided to do all activities by tomorrow. Morning will be for water activities and indoor outdoor by afternoon after we check out from the room.

Tuesday night, we enjoyed their infinity pool located at the Beach Country Club. It was nice and clean. Like very clean in every tile. Just make sure you are in PROPER swimming attire. Yes, they are strict about it.

Our dinner after a good and cold night swim. Thanks to Kuya JM's cookiiing!
